Part 6/9:
Disease as a Reflection of Society
Dr. Maté extends this dialogue to encompass societal behaviors and hierarchies. He posits that many of those in positions of power often exhibit the deepest traumas and unresolved psychologies. This phenomenon can perpetuate systemic issues, leading to individuals perpetuating cycles of trauma upon others rather than breaking the chains of emotional pain.
The notion that those in power often mirror the very trauma they once experienced offers a sobering glimpse into societal dynamics. It compels us to consider collective empathy and the importance of understanding our shared human experience amid individual struggles.
